I wanted to extend my home network to a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) within Amazon Web Services (AWS), primarily for use as a jenkins build farm. I have achieved this using a Raspberry Pi as my Customer Gateway device. This post covers the process of configuring the raspberry pi from scratch and AWS from scratch. I'm...
Up to now I have used win32Diskimager.exe in a windows VM to program images onto SDCards for the Raspberry Pi. For some reason having not done this for a while it has stopped working for me, so I decided to program using OSX directly. Downloading Firstly I downloaded and unzipped the raspbian image in my...
Last May I blogged about Starting with CODESYS on the Raspberry Pi. Since then I have found it a great teaching platform to help others learn CODESYS. My getting started tutorial is now a little out of date, so I thought I would reproduce it using current versions of software. This blog walks through the...
Introduction When I decided to use eclipse to do some cross development for the Raspberry Pi hosted on windows I was surprised to find that I found lots of useful posts elsewhere that gave a part of the solution, or worked well on a Linux host. I found both of the sites below to be...
Static analysis tools look for a wide range of potential errors with code that compilers do not look for. Cppcheck is a an open source static analysis tool, it is extensible and being actively developed. These are the sorts of errors that can be found Out of bounds checking Memory leaks checking Detect possible...
Introduction This post gives step by step instructions for adding code coverage with gcov to a google test eclipse project that is built as part of a CI process on Jenkins. This post starts from the point of already having a project compiled by a gnu compiler, in an eclipse CDT project that is being...
In my previous posts I have shown how to setup Jenkins to work with SVN and trac running on the Raspberry PI. I have also shown how to configure eclipse to work with google test and how to configure eclipse to work with SVN and trac. This post covers how to automate the build of...
I have previously posted on how to install trac, SVN and jenkins on the Raspberry Pi, and also on how to install (see the bottom of this post for related posts). When using Eclipse there are helpful plugins that tightly integrate all of these tools. This post covers the installation and configuration of these tools....
Introduction I like to use test driven development, currently my preferred framework is googletest. When I came to use eclipse CDT with the MinGW toolchain I found I had lots of little issues to get over to achieve what I wanted, namely a rapid TDD environment that I could also build from the command line...
Introduction There are many articles on how to backup Raspery Pi systems, up to now I have relied on taking card images and storing these on a machine that is backed up. However it is all to easy to have a few hours of fun with the Raspberry Pi and then not get round to...
